Forums - Sales - Sales Changed, WTF?

I apologise if this has been posted. I have been playing Gears2. But are the numbers changed. 360 is now 208,000 when it was 198,000 I think.

Yep, that's true.

I have the original numbers in the thread linked in my sig.

Edit: Here

Japan America Others Total
177,934 160,671 271,815 610,420
25,330 275,772 185,307 486,409
7,073 83,166 107,885 198,124
33,843 65,847 92,539 192,229
49,529 58,454 65,234 173,217

Seems it was Americas that was increased 10k.



vgchartz biased against the PS3 confirmed?

vgchartz a subsidiary of Microsoft corporation confirmed?

Being serious: Doesn't this happen alot when more information comes in?



Happened yesterday.
Maybe the 8 was just a typing mistake and they fixed it...



When the NA software numbers were put up the 360 was also adjusted up just over 10K in NA. Something which I mentioned in the America up thread: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=48024&start=100

Well now that the software has been updated for NA, it looks like the 360 numbers have been adjusted up by about 10K now. Nice! (edit: all of the other systems are the same)

Adjustments I guess.



4 ≈ One

Why does only the 360 get undertracked?

@Kantor... because that was the one that was undertracked, adjustments happen each week, up or down for all 6 consoles, last year for instance the X360 passed the 10 million sold mark 3 times because each time it passed it it was adjusted downward due to overtracking.

I find it odd that when the X360 gets overtracked, some PS3 fans claim bias because ioi was overtracking it, and now you (and some others) are complaining when it has been undertracked because it sees a corrective increase.

You must understand the the sales number need adjusting sometimes, ioi gives us the most accurate data he can, so if an adjustment is made it must be for the better.

The 360 was overtracked in summer and the PS3 undertracked...

The site does a good job of trying to keep the numbers as up-to-date as possible.  The only thing I think should change is that when a change is made it should appear in the news sections to explain that a change has occured and what it is.

Thing is, small changes like this one happen each week..... However it would be nice if any changes to past weeks were deemed newsworthy.

Like if data changes for any week that is more than 4 weeks old maybe.
